This sudden onslaught of otherworldly action movies might seem out of place in sequence with the previous chapters encouraging the prophets to keep doing their work, but perhaps this might be an explanation for its placement: if prophets work in isolation, then their work seems quite daunting. If prophets see their place in a timeless story that includes the very war in Heaven, then they have a greater sense of purpose. Perhaps that is the main crux of this section: to John the Revelator and his successors, you are part of something bigger. Don't give up.
